City Work Plan

On a daily basis it takes a significant amount of work to provide municipal services to thecitizens and businesses within the City of Port Angeles. The delivery and maintenance ofutilities, provision of public safety services, sponsorship of recreational activities and thelegal, financial, and planning support for each of these are all labor intensive activitiesrequiring long-term planning and oversight. These services are what most citizens wouldprobably refer to as “routine” and “expected.” What perhaps is less obvious to the basicdelivery of municipal services are the one-time projects that represent an incredibleamount of work being accomplished “behind the scenes.”

The intent of this Work Plan is to be a communications tool between City Staff and theCouncil, by providing a brief synopsis of some of the many projects being worked onthroughout various City Departments. Through this Work Plan, the Council can gain anunderstanding of the projects, the objectives of the projects, the rationale behind them,and where they fit into the overall Council Goals. The Work Plan can also be utilized bythe Council when communicating with the community about the various ongoing projectsthroughout the City.
